NIGEL FARAGE has rubbished Tony Blair’s latest attempt to thwart Brexit, insisting the former Labour Prime Minister is one of the “most disliked” living politicians.

Mr Blair caused an outpouring of anger from Brexiteers after he claimed the European Union could be reformed allowing Britain to remain a member.

The staunch Remainer said he has held conversations with key players in Brussels, who may be willing to compromise on the free movement of people, but only if the UK remains in the bloc’s single market.

“He is showing people why he is now one of the most disliked living figures in British politics – he wants to reverse the result of a democratic referendum.

“He’s making it clear that anything must be done to stop us leaving the EU, he suggests public opinion has shifted when actually there are more people in favour of Brexit now than there were at the time of the referendum.”

The Brexiteer then mocked Mr Blair, who oversaw the UK’s presidency of the European Council in 2005, for his previous attempts to reform the bloc, which ultimately ended in failure.

Mr Farage laughed when he suggested the former Prime Minister was the “worst placed person” to seek reforms in the EU.
